Title: TAR14 EP3: 'I'm Not Wearing That Girl's Leotard! (Romania)'

3/1/2009: I'm Not Wearing That Girl's Leotard! (Romania)

Bucharest, Romania (Nov 5-7?)

romaniafan brings us his own sightings!  (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,17788.msg358736.html#msg358736)
Yes, ROMANIA! Was at the arrivals area at the airport in Bucharest last night, at about 12:45am, waiting for a friend to come through baggage claim. Suddenly a man with a large videocamera appeared out of nowhere and stood waiting in front of the crowd at the automatic doors. I wondered if it would be someone important, but figured just a local soccer celebrity or something. A few seconds later an Asian couple with backpacks came running through the doors. They seemed to be looking for something and very rushed, and the cameraman followed them as they ran behind me and out the doors to the outside world. My very first thought was AMAZING RACE?!?! And then when I heard them talking to each other in English as they passed, with American accents, I thought it was an even greater chance it had been AR . . . but sadly, I'd never know the truth.
Or would I?!? Few minutes later two girls, looked to be in their 20s, came running out shouting at the crowd asking where the taxis were. Then suddenly they both stopped, looked around very confused-like like they were looking for someone, then stood off to the side a bit, literally about two feet from me. I noticed right away that they both had little yellow and red-striped markers on them, so I was getting even more convinced this was AR. Then while they were waiting, one of them took out an envelope and pulled out of it a blue pamphlet-sized type thing that had the AR symbol on the front, consulted it really quickly, then tucked it away. Now I'm 100% convinced it's AR!! All of a sudden there was a huge flurry of activity as their camerman came running up (apparently that's what the two girls had been waiting for), and then I saw at least two other teams and their camera crews come running through the doors - one was two slightly older African American ladies, and another was two rather short men. All four of them also had the yellow and red markers on their person (some were on fanny packs), and were being chased by cameras as they frantically ran for the taxis. I *think* there was another team arriving a little further down, but I couldn't get a good look in all the excitement. Then last but not least, a very frantic-looking cameraman and sound man ran out in the clearing outside the automatic doors, apparently having lost their team for the moment, and paused scanning the crowd for a good minute or two. Then they took off, so presumably spotted them. Phew.
It gets better. About a half hour later my friend finally came through the double-doors from baggage claim. I was giddy with excitment to tell her about my AR spotting, and her response? "So THAT'S who they were!!" Apparently they were on her flight from Munich! At least some of them were. She was sitting right next to one of the contestants, my friend said she was a Kelly Ripa lookalike. This contestant had another friend sitting up a few rows, who she kept referring to as Chrissy. My friend said they made small talk throughout the flight, and the lady had said she and her friend were making a travel documentary, going to places off the beaten path like Romania to try and generate interest for tourists to go to those countries. So THAT'S their cover! The lady also told the flight attendant that she and her friend Chrissy are Southwest Airlines flight attendants back home. She was also asking a Romanian passenger on the other side of her for advice, my friend didn't catch all of it but did hear them talking about the train station (how to get there, safety, etc). My friend said after the fact, knowing it was an AR team, a lot of the lady's mysterious behavior now made sense: Spending half an hour putting on makeup before they landed (after midnight?!?), asking the flight attendant for an extra sandwich (Chrissy had told her they might need it tomorrow!), etc. My friend said that by the time the plane was ready to deboard, the Kelly Ripa lookalike and her friend Chrissy (and their telltale backpacks) had already worked themselves up to the front of the plane to deboard. She said she also had noticed one other team of two girls with backpacks and camera crews, which I suspect *may* have been the pair I saw stalled outside baggage claim, but not sure.

Soooo, long and short of it: At least two teams were for sure spotted by my friend on the flight from Munich to Bucharest; I spotted at least four teams coming thru baggage claim at about that time, one of which might have overlapped with the ones my friend spotted. They were heading for taxis, so not sure if that means a task in Bucharest, or if they were taxing to the train station to venture elsewhere in the country. Making it at least five or six teams here in Romania today!
How exciting!! I live not far from Dracula's Castle, which I'd suspect will be one of their stops, so I'll be keeping an eye out for any more sightings!
Sorry for the ramble, but I've been a huge AR fan since Season 1, Episode 1, and all this time I've been really pulling for them to come to Romania - what are the odds I'd see them arriving at the airport here, especially at 12:45am on a Wednesday?!? Can't wait for this season to air!! 


Friend was on Lufthansa flight 3424, arrived about 12:25am 11/5 from Munich. The flight arriving right before that was from Frankfort, arriving at 12:15am - both from Germany, so possibly some of the teams I saw had been on that flight? Not sure. Just because my friend only spotted two teams on the Munich flight doesn't mean they weren't all on that flight and she just didn't see them. She's still in bed and jet-lagged right now (she'd flown all the way from LA), but I'll grill her for more info later and see if there's any other tidbits I can report. This is all so exciting, I'm glad I've got people to share it with who can appreciate it!

Yeah, it was 12:25am on Wed Nov 5th that they landed. So I'd bet money on them still flitting around the country as we speak, especially taking into account that like you said, they probably needed to wait for things to open first. It's 11:20am here at the moment, and we're 8 hours ahead of Chicago time (that's my hometown and point of reference!). And yes, I said finally because a. I'd left for the airport three hours before, b. Knew we'd have a 2+ hour drive home, and c. I wanted to talk to somebody about my AR sightings!!! In a perfect world my friend would've come through the doors at the same time as them and we could've tailed them! I guess it pays to travel with backpacks and not have to wait 20 minutes for your luggage to come through.
• Speculation: If they go to Dracula's Castle (which incidentally isn't that exciting at all and is barely tied to Dracula, but is Romania's Biggest Tourist Trap so something tells me they'll end up there, but I hope I'm wrong - there are so many more interesting things to choose from here!), it's a good three hours drive/train from Bucharest in daytime traffic, a bit shorter at night. So if they had an early morning task in Bucharest, had to wait for opening hours for something first and then complete the task, then get out here, it'd probably be lunchtime at the earliest.


Oh, remembered one last tidbit: One of the girls my friend saw was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of her daughter on it. I'll check back in tonight with any other newsworthy news!

One last little tidbit: My friend said the racer sitting next to her on the plane had mentioned that others "from our group" had been on an earlier flight that day. Maybe these were just the stragglers? And as I may have already mentioned, she was wearing a t-shirt with a picture of her daughter that said "I love you wherever I go". Think that's it for now!

Yay!! More dirt!! Thought the well had run dry on info from here in Romania, but just got this email from a friend here in Brasov:
"So I sat next to a guy at the wedding yesterday who is a cop in brasov and was assigned as a driver to some of the supporting crew for the amazing race when it came through. from bucharest they had to take the train to brasov, and they went to the black church where they found out their road block. i don't remember what the first one was but the second was something to do with a gypsy village. he didn't know what else they did in brasov but from brasov they went to bran and he said he didn't think they went to Bran Castle but they did have their pit stop. in all he said they spent about 3 days in romania and from here they went to russia."

Amazing Race
November 6, 2008 in général

At 4am on Wednesday morning, staying up all night in honor of the US Presidential Election, I found myself at Gara de Nord, Bucharest’s primary train station. Standing outside the locked building was a mix of travelers waiting with luggage, teenagers huffing from plastic bags, sanitation workers sweeping, and various hustlers trying to get money from the people who waited. I, myself, had to dodge a couple of leather-jacketed men who insisted they could put me on a bus to wherever I needed to go, Brasov by noon. Later I watched two nearby couples interact with a younger huffer, laughing uncomfortably as he half sang, half shouted something to them. Meanwhile, taxis kept pulling up periodically, and people with bags would try the locked glass doors without luck. Their attempts were understandable, though, because inside the glass doors were other travelers, miraculously inside the warm(er) building even though it was supposed to be closed until 4:30.
These other travelers were, in fact, the cast and crew of the 14th season of The Amazing Race, filming their way through Romania. I looked inside and watched the teams of two flanked by cameramen and production staff. They all seemed unaware of the motley crowd outside those doors. They talked to each other, milled around, and consulted maps. One particular team of young women looked too manicured for such a contest at such an hour. At 4:20am, the ticket counters opened early for them; the crowd outside moved closer to the locked doors. Ten minutes later, the station’s McDonald’s franchise let the cast and crew inside while keeping the public, now allowed in the building, locked outside. Soon these contestants would be headed out of the capital in search of adventure!
And for those of you who are fans of the show, the Romania episode will be full of classics: gymnasts, gypsies, and vampires. Through some connections of mine here, I found out that the cast travels to nearby Bran Castle, engages in a challenge that included coffins and stakes, and visits a gypsy village (possibly in search of a clue). Of course, some of it plays off of the cultural myths about Romania. There is no question that some Romanians are interested in selling vampire kitsch to spook-seeking tourists, regardless of the relative lack of native tradition actually concerning the monsters. Much of the rest of the population at least tolerates it. And The Amazing Race clearly aims to take advantage.
But the show exploits more than the vampire legend. The most intriguing element of The Amazing Race episode in Romania relates to the gypsy village, which was, strangely, a fake. Constructed specially for the show in an area with a relatively low gypsy population, the artificial village was “populated” with ethnic Romanians dressed up in gypsy attire. Yes, even the supposed gypsies were impostors, as authentic as their costumes may have appeared. All this was done for the benefit of a reality television show. And tourism, of course.


Because most countries try to export a symbolic and friendly image of native culture that will lure tourists into spending strong currencies in a bid to purchase access to it all. Australia has promoted koalas, kangaroos, happy indigenous people, and blonds with surfboards leading a laid back life along the beach. Scotland pushes kilts, bagpipes, and Mel-Gibson-as-William-Wallace (not to mention all things whiskey). Romania is certainly not exempt from these kinds of campaigns, and the gypsy village proves just to what lengths people are willing to go. By dressing up ethnic Romanians as gypsy villagers, The Amazing Race and its Romanian collaborators are presenting an idealized image of gypsy culture, one meant to dazzle foreigners with exoticism.
The reality is more fraught. Tensions toward and within the gypsy population in Romania remain strong; prejudices are performed daily in the most progressive communities; divides exist socially and within the government about how to work with this minority group. Debates flourish about how to even provide education for children in gypsy communities. The quaint, friendly, built-to-order gypsy village, with its cast of Romanians in gypsy costumes, couldn’t be more of an idealization of the situation here. It censors the poverty, the alienation, and even the violence that contribute to the gypsy reality in Romania, as well as elsewhere in Eastern Europe.
Myself, I am unqualified to say anything truly meaningful regarding this subject. Except I can’t help but be intrigued by a reality show that not only employs cultural proxies and fakes, but helps to sell a glossy version of what makes up a country like Romania. For my money, I think showing the real Romania would make excellent television; but no, the producers want to keep the glue huffers locked outside and the gypsies lighter skinned. Maybe the danger is that if we, as viewers, saw the reality, we might lose interest in the contestants and the contest itself. After all, what’s amazing about it? People flying all over the world in competition for money? What’s amazing about that? Besides what it excludes.

Leg 3 in Romania?  Does this mean that the teams only go to Salzburg, Austria for the pit stop at the end of leg 2?

Bummer :'(

Funny title, though.  Wonder who sounds the most likely to say it?  Probably a guy.  Though if it's another girl who says it, I can see it being LaKisha or (black) Jennifer.  Hell, maybe (Southern) Jennifer could say it.

The "Leotards" in the title makes me wonder if there is a Nadia Comăneci themed task? Looking for gymnastics school in Bucharest...

The "Leotards" in the title makes me wonder if there is a Nadia Comăneci themed task? Looking for gymnastics school in Bucharest...

This episode should be interesting and entertaining!

Did anyone write the Seriously blogger and ask him where the gymnastics took place? After reading his blog again, I doubt he would help us out anyway.

Some speculation on gypsies:
We already know from Seriously that the camp is phony. I'll take an early guess that it will resemble a movie stereotype--more like this (http://screenmusings.org/FromRussiaWithLove/pages/007FRWL_161.htm) camp in From Russia with Love rather than the real-life camp pictured in this article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1087942/Fury-100million-plan-hundreds-gipsy-sites-country.html). And the wagons will look more like English Vardos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vardo_(gypsy_wagon)) than any wagon you might actually see (http://pro.corbis.com/search/Enlargement.aspx?CID=isg&mediauid={26838DC2-B493-490B-8FF2-171DA714995D}) in Romania.
Some additional reading: the people (as previously mentioned) will be fake gypsies, but if anybody wants to spot costumes there's a guide here (http://www.romanianmuseum.com/Romania/RomaniaFolk.html) (gypsy page here (http://www.romanianmuseum.com/Romania/RomaniaEthnoRrom.html)). An interesting sidebar about the (gabor) gypsies here (http://horinca.blogspot.com/2006/10/negreni-excuse-me-is-your-name-gabor.html).

He actually did not see the challenges, it was friends and they couldn't add much because they could only watch from a distance.

There's a Roadblock clue along with the RI in Victor's hand; gymnastics has to be the RB.

The question is if it's at the beginning or at the end; teams landed in Bucharest in the early early morning, but they would be leaving the pit stop in the early morning, no? Unless we have an extended pitstop.

Yeah, I noticed the darkness outside the windows too, even though most of the windows are covered pretty good. I think this explains the missing time from when they land and clear customs (about 1 am) till when they arrive at the train station (around 4 am). They go do some gymnastics first.

Actually something off topic - Asian families are much more united than american families, and bickering and quarrelling is one thing that brings us asian families closer together. It gives us things to talk about, which is at least better than not talking at all, running out of topics to discuss, and suddenly getting a divorce. :duno:

And i HATED Ronald and Christina during leg 1 - 3, but my love turned for them when they peace out and worked well together and raced decently. I guess Tammy and Victor won't end up bickering as badly as them, as i don't see Victor acting like Ronald and demanding soooo much from Christina. So here's some Tammy and Victor love from me still. :hearts:

AND AND, although Amanda and Kris do look like they lost their racepacks next week, i hope they SERIOUSLY find it back. It sucks going out the race by just a mistake. :(

Off topic reply in this forum: Hi Joab, Actually, I'm also Asian, and to set the record, am Chinese, Asian-Chinese teams in TAR truly have a special place in my favorite team list. Thus, could totally relate, I just seem to see it in the race as Asian teams, specifically how their family relations go through as very rigid or hierarchical.

Going back to the topic: It seems that Christie/Jodi would be the next one... Saw in Sucks that one suckster asking for post-Romania Christie/Jodi spoilers, furthermore, it seems that the Amanda/Kris may get back their money and passports as well. BVM didn't say in their press releases that any of the teams would do a Toni/Dallas mishap like last season... or they just don't want to spoil the fun.

Geez, I find that teams from the latest seasons seem to lose A LOT of things, tend to misread A LOT of clues than those in previous races...

Post by: hakushu8 on February 23, 2009, 09:04:59 AM
Hi Mooyou. I'm here as well.  :waves:

Here's what I understand with the spoilers and preview pictures so far:

Five of the teams arrived after the other four. These five are the 1st and 6th-9th teams of leg 2 (based on the sightings). So the forced plane landing may have occurred for the Jihs specifically, since they arrived very early in the leg 2 pitstop that they got on an earlier plane compared to the 2nd-5th team, but this actually caused them to fall behind with the 6th-9th team.

So I assume these five teams on the 2nd plane went to the RB which is the gymnast thing. We see Jamie with Jen (I think) at the sidelines and one of the Munoz doing the RB. As people have said, this was in the nighttime, which may be 1:00 AM in the morning? If so, those kids are up wayyyyy too late.

Just my opinion on the RB. It seems to be either: walking at a straight line to mimic a balance beam, or doing stunts at that straight line in lieu of a balance beam, or they're practicing on the floor before they mount and do stunts on the balance beam. Not sure why Mike had to do those running in circles with the gymnastic kids though.

So moving on to the trains. The RB must've been a relatively easy one for teams to be done in about 2 hours. Seriously mentioned that the station opens at 4:30 AM. I'm not really sure if the Tammy pic supports a similar time frame. Although I don't think the Jihs would be that far behind from Cara/Jamie, who I assume were the F/F teams spotted waiting at the train station, because both were spotted at a similar time frame in the airport. Also, do you guys think Gora de Nord was a bunching point? That would've been lovely.

Now teams had to travel from Bucharest to Brasov. Not sure if anyone has done this already, but I've found some information on the trains timetable from Bucuresti Nord to Brasov. Unfortunately, I can't post here what I found but anyways... I've set my search for Wednesday, Feb. 25. I'm pretty sure the time schedule for Nov. 5, 2008 is completely different, but anyways. It says there that travel time is between 3 - 4 hours from Bucharest to Brasov.

Go to this link for train schedules (http://www.mersultrenurilorcfr.ro/)

I wonder why Amanda/Kris would search a well for their fanny pack. Also, why did Christie/Jodi ask for train info while still on the plane? Hmm...

TEAMS TRAVEL TO TRANSYLVANIA WHERE THEY MUST SEARCH THROUGH BURIED COFFINS FOR THEIR NEXT CLUE, WHILE A FIRST PLACE TEAM FINDS THEMSELVES STARING DOWN ELIMINATION AFTER AN UNEXPECTED DETOUR, ON "THE AMAZING RACE," MARCH 1 ON CBS
"I'm Not Wearing That Girls Leotard!" (Romania) - Teams scour the Transylvania countryside for buried coffins, while one of the Race's frontrunners finds themselves at the back of the pack when their plane makes an unexpected landing, on THE AMAZING RACE 14, Sunday, March 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Phil Keoghan is host.
 



 I would agree the unexpected landing team is the first place team Victor and Tammy and that might be why they are not so happy.
For gymnasts, Tammy (bio does yoga) Mike White (bio does yoga) Mark Munoz (stuntman experience) and Jamie (cheerleader experience) might excel at this task.
Also agree the teams at risk for elimination this week are Jodi/Christie Kris/Amanda

And ..Welcome to the forum Mooyou  :waves:

Can you imagine if this happens two seasons in a row? First Toni & Dallas and then Amanda & Kris?

The producers are going to require the fanny packs be stapled to everyone's fanny. :lol:

Amanda and Kris look like they're screwed, but it'll be such a pity! Perhaps the reason they become the unexpected early boot. Sigh, I wouldn't be happy with either an Amanda and Kris or Christie and Jodi boot! *pray*

I get the impression they lost their packs in the fake village and must retract steps to find.  All-in-all, not as bad as Toni & Dallas.

Well, with Preston & Jennifer and Steve & Linda being the first two teams gone, I'm pretty much cool with everyone left, so I'll be torn as to whom to want to see stay or go each week.  Hell, I don't really want anyone to go!

But of the two listed above, I'd rather it be Amanda & Kris.  Alpha-couples going far is way too predictable, while women's going far is not.

TEAMS TRAVEL TO TRANSYLVANIA WHERE THEY MUST SEARCH THROUGH BURIED COFFINS FOR THEIR NEXT CLUE, WHILE A FIRST PLACE TEAM FINDS THEMSELVES STARING DOWN ELIMINATION AFTER AN UNEXPECTED DETOUR, ON "THE AMAZING RACE," MARCH 1 ON CBS
"I'm Not Wearing That Girls Leotard!" (Romania) - Teams scour the Transylvania countryside for buried coffins, while one of the Race's frontrunners finds themselves at the back of the pack when their plane makes an unexpected landing, on THE AMAZING RACE 14, Sunday, March 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.  Phil Keoghan is host.
 

But the clue says nothing about missing a flight, its about an unexpected landing. Guess we'll have to look for the airport.

Didn't anyone tell these teams that Gypsies are world-reknown pickpockets and thieves?  And they left their valuables in plain sight.  But since all the Gypsies were hired as "extras" by TPTB they probably got their stuff back finally, just delayed them.

It looks like the task in gypsieland is to load all the belongings of one family in the wagon.  Gypsies do this all the time, they travel with the worldly possessions in their wagon.

If we see Tammy (in a gymnist shirt - do teams get to keep them?) in the cab and then at the rail station it looks like after landing in Bucharest, teams go to the gymnastic center for a Roadblock.  They have to perform the four routines associated with the Olympic All-around champion: balance beam, floor excersize, parrell bars (except this is a man's routine which Jen is doing), the women do uneven bars) and vault.  But since Jen or Kisha is doing a different routinte, perhaps the roadblocker only has to learn one of the routines.  I wonder is Mike has to do a flip on the beam? After completing the roadblock teams are told to make their way to the railway station and catch a train to Brasov. Note that Victor is holding a red roadblock clue in the cab with Tammy and it is night (dark) out.

Also note that the shot of Margie and Luke by the Austrian pit stop mat is in daylight.  They arrived just before sunset at 4:47PM so it looks like an extended 24-hour pitstop this time.

By the way, nice aerial shots of Bran Castle and Brasov which features the Black Church.

I agree.  If it's a real clock, 9:08pm seems way too early.  Considering Romaniafan's witness, the 2nd flight comes in around 12:45am and I doubt the first flight got in that much earlier (which we believe Margie/Luke Mel/Mike are on).   Must just be a timer clock.

Floor event timing is crucial. But RB time isn't really crucial because we know they all bunch at the railway station around 430AM.

I got this off of Kris' wonderfully BIG watch, it is at the Mat w/ Phil at Hellbrun, might help with release times.  I'm guessing 4:10 ish?

I don't think Amanda & Kris will totally lose their passports and money -- they'll find it eventually.  But I think it will cost them enough time that they wind up getting eliminated for it, leaving Jodi & Christie safe yet again.  After all, we don't see them after Salzburg either, although since Linda & Steve were eliminated last leg, they obviously made it to Romania.

Oh, and I'd love to see Nadia Comaneci as the Pit Stop greeter!  But most likely, it'll be someone dressed as a gymnast or a gypsy.

That looks like 7ºC to me. Timers rarely have a temperature reading, but clocks do.

Now that Brad/Victoria seems to have missed a flight in Amsterdam, *maybe* leg 2 second - fifth finishers had to go that direction to go to Bucharest? But still, I don't think they're the team that had an unexpected landing, I still believe that the Jihs had that happen to them.

I believe that Margie/Luke, Mel/Mike, probably Kris/Amanda were in the gymnasium at ~9:00 PM. The spoiler said there were two flights that arrived at ~ 12:00 AM Wednesday, but it's not like he (?) was in the airport since, I dunno, 6 - 8 PM Tuesday to see those 3 teams arrive.

Anyways, I just finished watching Leg 2 and the whole leg happened on November 3 (Monday). How awesome. It must've been a 12 hour resting period only because at the wee hours of the next day, November 4, that's when the next leg started.

Well if Vic/Tammy were on the same flight as the behind teams, Cara/Jamie Jodi/Christie The Brothers and Sister teams then something must have went wrong somewhere for them.

Mike/Mel Luke/Margie on the earlier flight, screencap of them together at the Roadblock. Could we assume Kris and Amanda are there as well or on their way or come and gone?

I agree with you, Chateau! *high-five!* All paths (http://forum.realityfanforum.com/index.php/topic,17791.25.html) lead to Rome! (Or is it Bucharest?)

There's something to occupy teams from the morning till after 5pm of the 4th of November (when there are better flights from both Salzburg and Munich), be it extra tasks or an extended Pit Stop.

Unless they just weren't using those cars anymore. I agree though, haven't we seen an extended Pitstop on leg 2 before? We did after the jump the ditch in Holland on season 11 I think...

It must be a 24 hour or more probably a 18 hour pit stop.  Marge and Luke arrived just before sunset which was at 4:47PM; but we see them again reading the route info in front of the Austria sign in bright sunlight.  Could it be 4:47PM again? Or as a minimum an 18 hour pit stop so that they would be leaving Salzburg at 10:47AM

Using this from Neobie

KL1798 from Munich to Amsterdam: 5.30pm to 7.15pm

And one hour and 41 minutes form Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=47.762868,13.059998&daddr=munich+airport&hl=en&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=0&sz=12&sll=47.751328,13.021889&sspn=0.213058,0.246506&ie=UTF8&z=12)

I would guess that Brad and Victoria leave the Pit Stop at or before 2 pm.

Any source about that??

Here's what I think...

If Amanda/Kris were on the earlier flight and already had a huge lead (because of 12 AM arrival time of the next flight), then they did the roadblock at night (assuming 9pm) and catched the earlier train and the train arrived at Brasov at morning while the second and/or the third train arrived 3 to 5 hours after the 1st train (other teams will catch the midnight train),  so Amanda & Kris has a big lead over the back teams and they have more time of searching for their tiny bag and survive elimination.

I guess it will be either Brad/Victoria, Jodi/Christie (hopefully)

My guess is that Brad & Victoria go this week.  Based on puddin's spoiler/speculation summary, both Amanda/Kris and Brad/Victoria are last witnessed in Austria.  I think that Brad & Victoria missing their flight will put them far enough behind. 
Even if Amanda & Kris DON'T find their bag with their passports, they can still check into the pit stop.  If this indeed happens and they don't find the bag, that makes sense why they would be eliminated on leg 4.

I really do think that's just a red herring.  Amanda & Kris will definitely find the bag, and they will definitely check in at a surviving position.  Brad & Victoria are my bet to go home, almost in a Bob & Joyce sort of fashion.

Remember how much of a big deal the passport thing was last season? This season it just doesn't seem to carry much weight. I still think that Amanda & Kris could go home this episode, though not because of this. They'll find it before they check in, at least. I'm going to wave a sad goodbye to Brad & Victoria, my guess for this elimination. :'(

Wil and Tara did not lose their clue in downtown San Francisco, they discovered the loss (which occurred in a Hawaiian airport) while flying to San Francisco on the way to Anchorage. They searched for books in the SF Airport bookstore.

When I look at all the evidence, I conclude that it was a 18 hour pit stop, agreeing with GMan. There is nothing for teams to do from 4am to noon except get on inferior flight combinations, so a 12 hour pit sotp is unlikely. The best ones occur after 5pm, so teams would logically need hours before that to get to the airport and book them. A 24 hour pit stop would not allow enough time.

Perhaps this even allows for the teams to do at least ONE additional task in Salzburg.  It would be a shame to be in that lovely and culturally important city and not do anything.  Perhaps they have to find Mozart's birth house to get the next clue telling them to fly to Romania.  Or up to the fortress, or find the clue in St. Peter's graveyard.  Anything.

Somehow I get the feeling that since they aren't showing a lot of other teams in the tasks in the day, that our top teams are Mark and Michael, Amanda and Kris, Tammy and Victor, and Mel and Mike.  They might have to do the gymnastics the night before, or perhaps those teams are behind.  But I think that since Brad and Victoria had to make an unprecidented stop and that after they arrive at their connection, they are TOO late.  And they may not make it for the possible hours of operation.

I have been trying to figure out which side of the detour would be worse on a groin pull.  Standing in one spot and lifting stuff in a wagon or walking around looking for coffins.

Perhaps this even allows for the teams to do at least ONE additional task in Salzburg.  It would be a shame to be in that lovely and culturally important city and not do anything.  Perhaps they have to find Mozart's birth house to get the next clue telling them to fly to Romania.

But Margie tells us they head straight to Bucharest   :'(

In this video, I get the impression that Tammy & Victor are contemplating changing Detours.

Do we have any idea how much distance is between the 2 Detour tasks?

GE is too fuzzy to be able to see them.

The best spent effort will be scouring the 1000's of photos that are lurking around.

Maybe try doing searches using keywords in Romanian .
Yeah and everyone wants to photograph the castle, so it seems.

I think the Pit Stop will be in the 'cone' indicated below.  This is based on GE tilt views.   This shot has a faint set of lines from the mountains at the point of the cone.  It is also consistent with the expected solar azimuth for late afternoon.

Spending a few minutes with Google Earth this afternoon, I have 2 thoughts.

1.  Most of the houses/buildings in the Bran Castle area are yellow.
2.  I found a place, about 2 miles west of Bran Castle, where they should have the PitStop.  The place is called Casa Elim!

I've been thinking all this time that somewhere like Bran would be a great Pitstop...

We still have a task there though right (coffins etc)? So maybe not...

Those haystacks look exactly like Cousin IT!!! Are we sure they don't have feet? :lol3:

And WOW!! Look how great Margie looks in her leotard!

Is that Amanda there?

I assume you're refering to that last shot?  It looks like Jodie to me.  I believe that's the only shot we've seen of that team for this leg.

I think you need to have all the clues with you in order to check in. So if the clues are in the bag, they can NOT check in.

Thanks for the welcome, georgiapeach!

Kris is holding the detour clue while looking for the pack, so at least they have one clue.  Probably not much luck of them keeping the others somewhere else, though.  It'll be interesting to see if they find it; it will certainly break them if they don't, and could explain their possible early departure this season.  :(

My take is romaniafan meant that they took the train to the Black Church in Brasov to find maybe route info to lead them to the detours, not Roadblock because we know they Roadblock is first in Bucharest. Hoping for some Black Church Hours of Operation here but I haven't found any info on the church hours yet.

It's not a big deal, but RomanianMonasteries.org says about the Black Church: "The visiting program is daily between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m." and RomanianTourism.com/brasov.html says "Open: Mon. - Sat. 10:00am - 3:30pm; Closed Sun" that's sufficient to establish my point, which is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Unfortunately, when I visited the Black Church in August it was at lunchtime, so I do not have any eyewitness report to offer on this.

Romanians Coach Contestants on Sunday's 'Amazing Race' 

Written by John Crumlish | Friday, February 27, 2009
       
 Gymnasts and coaches from Romania's Lia Manoliu Sports Complex in Bucharest will help contestants swing, turn and leap toward a $1 million prize in Sunday's episode of "The Amazing Race," airing on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.


Although several of the two-person teams in the Emmy Award-winning reality competition program have athletic backgrounds, their poise and dexterity will be put to a new test in Romania — on the balance beam. Team members, wearing competition attire in Romanian team colors, will need to successfully perform a "routine" before they will be allowed to learn their next destination.

"They must go correct and not fall," explains Liliana, a coach at the club, on host Phil Keoghan's video diary that previews the episode.

Sunday's episode of the show will feature footage of "The Amazing Race" contestants training with Romanian coaches, as well as several young Romanian gymnasts practicing their own routines.

"They can walk on their hands and do unbelievable things," notes Keoghan in his video diary.

Now in its 14th season, "The Amazing Race" pits two-person teams against one another in a series of physical and mental challenges that take them on a 22-day trek around the world. Couples who are farthest behind are gradually eliminated, and the first team to arrive at the final destination will win $1 million.

Sunday's episode entitled "I'm Not Wearing That Girl's Leotard!" is the third episode of the season.

Third in the women's team competition at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Romania has a rich gymnastics tradition. Nadia Comaneci won the all-around title at the 1976 Olympics, and Simona Amanar placed first at the 2000 Games. The country has two world all-around champions in Aurelia Dobre (1987) and Maria Olaru (1999).

The Romanian women won the Olympic team title in 1984, 2000 and 2004; and the world team title in 1979, 1987, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999 and 2001.

After watching the young Romanian gymnasts train during the show's taping. Keoghan asked coach Liliana if some of the complex's gymnasts might someday compete in the Olympic Games. "I hope so," Liliana said.

"Me, too," Keoghan replied. "I would love to say that I saw them here."
 
Contestant Amanda Blackedge must complete a series of gymnastics exercises at the Complexul Sportiv National Lia Manoliu in Bucharest, Romania, in order to receive the next clue, on "The Amazing Race."

I think the Pit Stop will be in the 'cone' indicated below.  This is based on GE tilt views.   This shot has a faint set of lines from the mountains at the point of the cone.  It is also consistent with the expected solar azimuth for late afternoon.

The Complexul Sportiv National Lia Manoliu is on the east side of the city:
Bucharest Sector 2, B-dul Basarabia 37-39

That's 11km from the airport, 7km from the North Train Station. Here's (http://www.ps2.ro/Pagini/DespreNoi/informatii/PUZ_S2/LIA%20MAN%20PROP1000-50.jpg) a huge map of the complex, and here's (http://www.prosport.ro/alte-sporturi/gimnastica/) a site with lots of photos...

*sigh* Hundreds of photos of that room, and none in the angle for us to see that "clock"!
From Phil's diary we can see that he was there at 15:37:50 and the temperature was 16C.

Added another image this one shows 15:40:17...

If the tagging is accurate then the "sala gimnastica" is here (http://wikimapia.org/4641748/ro/Sala-gimnastica-fitness-judo), next to the abandoned parachute tower.
On a different topic, the teams go from the airport to the gymnastics, correct? But Jodi is spotted on the plane asking locals about the train station (page 1). Just being thorough? ???
Title: Re: TAR14 EP3: 'I'm Not Wearing That Girl's Leotard! (Romania)'
Post by: puddin on February 28, 2009, 08:13:33 PM
It is odd that Jodi was asking about trains and not the gymnasium ..

And this .. which female team we can't be sure but I don't think it matters since the 3 female teams seem to have bunched or traveled together

• At 4am on Wednesday morning, staying up all night in honor of the US Presidential Election, I found myself at Gara de Nord, Bucharest’s primary train station.
.....even though it was supposed to be closed until 4:30.
These other travelers were, in fact, the cast and crew of the 14th season of The Amazing Race, filming their way through Romania. I looked inside and watched the teams of two flanked by cameramen and production staff.
They all seemed unaware of the motley crowd outside those doors.
They talked to each other, milled around, and consulted maps.
One particular team of young women looked too manicured for such a contest at such an hour.
At 4:20am, the ticket counters opened early for them; the crowd outside moved closer to the locked doors.
Ten minutes later, the station’s McDonald’s franchise let the cast and crew inside while keeping the public, now allowed in the building, locked outside.

So here we are looking at the following leg:

Roadblock:
Jen, Amanda, Mel, Michael, Margie,  Tammy, Cara, Jodi

Uknown:
Brad & Victoria (Assume Victoria), 

Detour:
Coffin: Tammy & Victor,

Gipsie:
Mark & Michael, Kris & Amanda (Lose Fanny Pack)

Uknown;
B/V, C/J, C/J, M/L, L/J

Pitstop:
Possible order of finish from screen caps:
Mark & Michae - 1st Place
Christie & Jodi - 2nd Place
Mel & Mike - 3rd
Margie & Luke - 4th
Cara/Jamie or Likisha/Jen - 5th & 6th
Tammy & Victor - 8th
Amanda & Kris - 9th
Brad & Victoria - Eliminated - Due to flight connection

If its not that order the only difference will be swithing it around as such:
Mel & Mike
Mark & Michael
Christie & Jodi
leaving the rest the same.



Edit to fix post. I get Kris and Amanda confused sometimes.  :groan: Its because I have a friend that is Kris and female. I tend to keep thinking of Kris as a guy,

How about a U-Turn for Tammy & Victor?!?

We think Tammy & Victor have plane troubles, thus putting them out of first place.  Whatever team finishes the Detour first, U-Turns Tammy & Victor, making them mad and turning them against themselves.

Pure specualtion as I count down to 8 pm.

Uchenna and Joyce were warned that it was risky to connect in Frankfurt.  They elected to take that risk and it bit them.  They could have controlled their risk by that the later-leaving and landing flights that 3 other teams did. Or they could have had a really good travel agent working on it and got on the connection through Vienna that got Charla and Mirna there severla hours before the others. They wanted to get their before most other teams, which would have happened if they did not run into those problems in Frankfurt.

Well, sometimes flight problems are beyond the control of teams and sometimes they aren't.  Anyway, I'm still holding hope that Brad & Victoria manage to catch up and pass Amanda & Kris.

They were warned that it's risky, took the risk, and can't control the outcome that it became the later flight. If that makes sense. :funny:

Yeah, I had no sympathy for what happened to Uchenna & Joyce.  Remember this could be the season with the most trouble that teams have had in airports.

From a unexpected holiday putting some teams over a day behind the first flight.  To a team being removed from a flight (thats never happened), to teams missing the connection on the flights producers provide for them.

Hell just two legs earlier they had missed a connection that was longer (getting to Warsaw).

So to take the risk, when they were on a level playing field, with just 5 other teams left (fewer teams means its less likely for another team to royally screw up), was incredible stupid.  Even 2 other teams warned them of this.

Starts off, "Pardon me, boy? Is that the Chattanooga Choo Choo?"

And in the movie, Young Frankenstein (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Frankenstein), Gene Wilder asks, "Pardon me, boy. Is this the Transylvania Station?"

It was a play on both.

I have attempted to use my knowledge of Brasov (my favorite place of all that I visited in Romania last summer) to help us with "Curtea Johannes Honterus-Hof." The addition of Hof is the only tricky thing. I believe it means "courtyard" and there is one alongside the Black Church. The name of that street, which I remember as pedsetrian and not open to cars, is Curtea Joahnnes Honterus. So its meaning is that the cluebox is in the courtyard adjacent to the entrance to the Black Church.

I went to the relevant rail schedules to see when teams would logically arrive at Munich airport. They dropped off their marked cars at the Salzburg train station and took a train to Munich Hbf, trnsafering from there to Munich Flughafen (airport). The schedules from Munich HBf to the airport are 6 every afternoon hour taking 39 to 41 minutes from Munich. The schedules from Salzburg  all the way to MUchich Flughafen (on average once per hour) are:

1103 1317
1152 1417
1303 1526
1314 1537
1352 1557
1441 1657
1552 1757
1617 1827

As you can guess, getting the airplane flight information correct is important to me, paritcularly finding out how screwed Brad/Victoria. Here is what I have found:

The nonstop flights Munich to Bucharest (MUC to OTP) are:
LH3480 1525 1825
RO312 1645 1945
LH3424 2130 0025+1

So, LH3480 is the one that Tammy/Victor had the "return to Munich" trip on and then they rebooked LH3424. Three teams caught RO312, Mel/Michael, Amanda/Kris and Margie/Luke. Mark/Michael, Kisha/Jen, Jaime/Cara, and Christie/Jodi also got LH3424 with Tammy/Victor. Brad/Victoria tried to leapfrog ahead by taking the earlier departing flight, KL1798 1730 1915. That was incredibly foolish for 2 reasons. The first is that the conneciton KL134 did not arrive OTP until 0010+1, only a 15 minute gain over LH3424. The second is that the connection was supposed to be 65 minutes but the risk like Uchenna/JOyce in Frankfurt was enormous. It would have been preferable for them to travel with the rest of the pack.

It looks to me that KLM Airlines totally screwed up Brad/Victoria's trip. KLM was greedy for the entire fare, so they conveniently overlooked the alternative booking of LH4700 1700 1835. That 40 minutes longer to connect is amsterdam probably would have caused Brad/Victoria to make the connection. Then KLM screwed them again, by not sending them on LH4705 AMS MUC(!!!) 0715 0835 connecting to LH3400 0920 1215. That would have been superior to the flight KL1389 AMS OTP 0950 1335, which arrives 80 minutes later.

Yet another fine episode, though a bit anticlimatic once the ousted team missed their flight.  I'm amazed by the level of competitiveness shown by the teams.  And I'm also amazed by the shuffling in the ranks throughout the leg!  My thoughts on the teams this week:

Mel & Mike: First place, and well earned!  I do like this team, and I do like that they're still thriving in spite of Mel's groin injury.  They raced well and smart and deserve to still be in it!

Amanda & Kris: I don't know.  I like them okay, but at the same time, they bore me something fierce.  It seems that most of the things they say always has to have "babe" at the beginning or end of it.  Plus, I feel like I barely know a thing about them, and it's already episode three!

Kisha & Jen: Nice to see them getting along a lot better, and great to see them make a huge jump from seventh to third!  I'm liking what I see of them so much more, and I'm loving their abilities in the tasks.

Margie & Luke: They're still in my heart, and I'm still finding myself enjoying them a lot, but the editors need to stop pushing the angle of Luke's deafness.  I'm not blaming Margie or Luke for this, but I could get annoyed with them very quickly, anyway.  I do love their bond with Jaime & Cara, though.

Mark & Michael: Made a nice rebound after their flight error last week.  Despite their small sizes, they show no fear or caution in anything they do, and can even outrun taller people, as shown by their footrace with Christie & Jodi.  Good job to see them both still in it.

Christie & Jodi: The flight attendants made a nice jump up in the ranks after their close shave last week.  I'm glad they weren't anywhere near last this week.  They did well on their tasks and richly deserved to survive.

Jaime & Cara: Ouch.  An incompetent cab driver was not what the cheerleaders needed tonight.  They probably could've scored a slightly higher placement without that happening to them (like at least finishing in front of Mark & Michael), based on their speed in finishing the Detour (although that coffin did look like a b*tch to drag).  They're still my favorite team, though, and their bond with Margie & Luke certainly does help them.

Tammy & Victor: So the siblings were hit by hubris.  Mainly, Victor's.  They faltered at the Roadblock, got lost at the Detour, broke down when they messed up badly (well . . . Victor did), and only escaped elimination because one team had so much bad luck.  I'm still loving Tammy, but Victor's officially starting to annoy me.

Brad & Victoria: Aw.  These two definitely were the new Bob & Joyce -- they were an older couple who did well early on and then got screwed over by a bad flight.  Unlike Bob & Joyce, however, Brad & Victoria did take an ill-advised risk on a flight with a tight connection and missed it only because their first flight got delayed.  So while they kind of didn't deserve it due to that bad luck, they also kind of did for making that bad luck.  Sorry, guys.  But I hope you at least have fun with Preston & Jennifer and Steve & Linda in Thailand!

The tasks were interesting, although the Roadblock was a bit of a yawner.  I'd have easily had my partner do it.  For the Detour, I'd have done Vampire Remains, as it looked easier on paper.  But Gypsy Moves turned out to be faster in practice, so it probably would've been better to do that one.

And after three episodes:

LOVE: Mel/Mike, Kisha/Jen, Margie/Luke, Mark/Michael, Christie/Jodi, Jaime/Cara, Tammy
LIKE: Amanda/Kris, Victor
NEUTRAL: No one
DISLIKE: No one
HATE: No one

Still good casting!  Still don't hate anyone, at least no one left!

Can't wait to see Siberia next week!

So here we are looking at the following leg:

Roadblock:
Jen, Amanda, Mel, Michael, Margie,  Tammy, Cara, Jodi

Uknown:
Brad & Victoria (Assume Victoria), 

Detour:
Coffin: Tammy & Victor,

Gipsie:
Mark & Michael, Kris & Amanda (Lose Fanny Pack)

Uknown;
B/V, C/J, C/J, M/L, L/J

Pitstop:
Possible order of finish from screen caps:
Mark & Michae - 1st Place
Christie & Jodi - 2nd Place
Mel & Mike - 3rd
Margie & Luke - 4th
Cara/Jamie or Likisha/Jen - 5th & 6th
Tammy & Victor - 8th
Amanda & Kris - 9th
Brad & Victoria - Eliminated - Due to flight connection

If its not that order the only difference will be swithing it around as such:
Mel & Mike
Mark & Michael
Christie & Jodi
leaving the rest the same.

Edit to fix post. I get Kris and Amanda confused sometimes.  :groan: Its because I have a friend that is Kris and female. I tend to keep thinking of Kris as a guy,
beau30, you have an error in the ROADBLOCK contestants. It was Michael, not Mel, who did it (that makes both Michaels if you consider thet one form Mark/Michael). 69 year olds do not do serious gymnastics. Other than that, I concur with gator27. Nice job!

That would be awesome and they could play Nadia's theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttc9aCSRqEY&feature=related), it is CBS afterall.

The only problem with that it that Nadia married U.S. gymnast Bart Conner about 13 years ago and has lived in the U.S. She is the Honorary Consul General of romania to the United States out of her office in Norman Oklahoma. She is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Romania.

After watching Tammy & Victor on the insider clips I can see why he was so emotional.  As revealed in their mat "Victor's emotional day" they had what was probably a real bad scare with their plane.

Tammy said they were told they had to turn back.  They didn't know till they were landing that there was rescue equipment and ambulances all over the runway.  In checking they found out that the pilot didn't know if the landing gear would work.  Can you imagine if you were on the plane and found out it was possible your landing could have been without the landing gear.  That's what was meant when one or both of them stated they had a near death experience or something like that.

After watching Tammy & Victor on the insider clips I can see why he was so emotional.  As revealed in their mat "Victor's emotional day" they had what was probably a real bad scare with their plane.

Tammy said they were told they had to turn back.  They didn't know till they were landing that there was rescue equipment and ambulances all over the runway.  In checking they found out that the pilot didn't know if the landing gear would work.  Can you imagine if you were on the plane and found out it was possible your landing could have been without the landing gear.  That's what was meant when one or both of them stated they had a near death experience or something like that.

Yikes!  That would've been scary!  I can see how that bad scare would cause a gradual meltdown on their part, especially Victor!
